On a related note, my friend Deirdre went to see U2 play in Dublin on St. Patty's Day, which basically was on the level of giving her life meaning or something. So my question to you is, what concerts are YOU psyched about?

I missed Radiohead last time they were in Florida, because I had no money, but, that is pretty much the only band I'd really go out of my way to see live.

Rumour has it The Darkness are going to be playing Newcastle Student Union again next year, that'll be good if true.

I'm also looking forward t the impromptue concert by the England Supporter's Band tommorow at my first England match.

I went to see Feeder a few weeks ago at the Ulster Hall, that coupled witht he Scissir Sieters concert i saw just after christmas mean my life is complete. I'd like to see The Bravery, mosly because i want to fuck the lead singer senseless.

I don't think I can make it, so send pictures. Maybe I'll even recognize one or two of these groups, heh.

Z, I'm gonna jam myslef into a bag, and you're taking me with you. :D :P

Anyway, the ones I want to see haven't released dates near me yet, but should be touring here.

Nine Inch Nails
Rammstein (I've heard their shows are fucking AMAZING.)
Tool (rawr, once they actually release the CD..I heard a rumor that they were going to be on Ozzfest this year, and there is still one "unkown" band for Ozzfest, so..we'll see about that. :? )

Ozzfest:
Black Sabbath
Iron Maiden
Rob Zombie
Killswitch Engage
Shadows Fall
Mastodon
Black Label Society
In Flames
Arch Enemy
Black Dahlia Murder, and a few more.

I MIGHT go to Warped Tour with some friends...I'm trying to decide if the few good bands would outweigh the many annoying ones. Tolerable ones being:
Atreyu
Avenged Sevenfold
Bleeding Through
Dillinger Escape Plan
Dropkick Murphys
My Chemical Romance
The Offspring
Senses Fail
Skindred
Something Corporate
Thrice
Underoath

Also, I'd love to see Radiohead if they ever come around here again.

Just give me some idea of when you'll get here and I'll be happy to unzip you. ;-)

I can't even figure out who I'm most excited to see, honestly. I love it when that happens with a concert. *grins like an idiot* Must get tickets! MUST!

...you can always come to Boston and see them.

Looking forward to the Stones playing Fenway Park. Can't wait till they announce the lineup for that one. :)

I thought Nile were supposed to be playing at Leeds? If they're not, fuck that...

I bet ozzfest would be fun, the second stage sounds far more impressive this year (is it even coming to the UK?).

You talking about the Carling weekend?

The full line up hasn't been released yet, they only started announcing acts last week.
